5 PR's in one workout!

10/27/11


Today was a great training day!  I set 5 PR's, all in different events.  I was a bit surprised with how strong I ended up being today because when I woke up my hands were real tight and a bit sore but once I got into warm-ups they started feeling good and strong.

6 dimes pinch (pinned)
full lift righty-PR, hop lefty
I decided today to take the 5 lb. plate out of my 6 dimes trainer and add the sixth 10 lb. plate and give it a try.  Happily it came up fairly easily righty!  When I weighed the whole setup with the 6x10's it came in at an even 63 lbs.  I tried to get it on video but the camera battery was dead again.

This was harder than I expected but is a good baseline.

I was on a mental high for the rest of the night at work after this workout.  Then on the way home a warning light came on saying there's a problem with my electronic throttle control.  Hopefully it's just a loose connection somewhere which is the case a lot of times with this.  I'll mess with it tomorrow and see if it's just a loose connector.
